Does a Minimalist Person Really Want Less?

22 January 2017

I’m a minimalist person and I want more.

Minimalism is associated with having less and setting limits. But is it the end? Is it really everything about people who call themselves minimalists? I think the truth is much more colourful and interesting. The truth is MORE.

I call myself a minimalist. But what does it mean to be a minimalist? For this article, lets assume a simple definition: it’s a person who has consciously chosen to have less physical possessions, often for their comfort – physical and inner.

So do I – as a minimalist – want less? No. I want more. Maybe even more than proverbial Joneses. But in other areas of life.

Possessions

I have enough of them. Very little, comparing with average. I let something new into my life mostly when an item I used becomes broken, worn out.
